KIERAN MORGAN FROM CASTLEMLK FACES SERIOUS SEXUAL OFFENCES IN DUNGANNON

A 26-year-old man named Kieran Morgan is preparing to face a series of serious criminal charges related to sexual offences committed against a young girl. The allegations include two counts of rape and one count of inciting the girl to perform an act of gross indecency. These charges paint a disturbing picture of the alleged abuse, which is said to have taken place over a span of six months, from April 30 to December 31, 2003.

Kieran Morgan, who resides on Mullaghmore Road in Dungannon, County Tyrone, was brought before Dungannon Magistrates' Court for a committal hearing. During this session, a prosecutor outlined the case against Morgan, asserting that there was sufficient evidence to proceed to trial. The court was told that the offences involved a young girl and occurred during her teenage years, making the allegations particularly grave.

The court proceedings saw District Judge John Meehan support the prosecutor’s assertion that the case should move forward. Morgan, who was present at the hearing, chose not to present any witnesses or offer a defense during the brief session. His decision not to give evidence or call witnesses was noted, and the judge remanded him in custody on a bail of £200.

Furthermore, Morgan was ordered to appear for his formal arraignment at Dungannon Crown Court, scheduled for May 2. The case continues to develop as authorities prepare for the upcoming trial, which will determine Morgan’s fate regarding these serious allegations. The community and the victim’s family await justice, hoping that the legal process will bring clarity and accountability to this troubling case.
